Please help!! XD I don't know why when I try to open the game it stays on the loading screen and the bar stays at minimum...

First, try to keep moving your mouse while you're on the loading screen.. Also, if that doesn't work, try to run with -dx11 attribute - even though the game is d12, it does fix that issue for some people.
The mouse works, but I don't know how to change to DX11 if I can't run the game and get to the graphics options...
It's a very good start. I'm glad you're actually making the effort to build a real game and not just an empty scene viewer like many others here.Thanks a lot! The assets for now are more for the demo stage; i'll probably change most of them later (I don't think the characters, more of a rework, and some new ones).
Regarding the textures in 3.2c, they've improved quite a bit since it was more of a lighting issue. I've redone it and it's changed the overall look quite a bit (it will be available to the general public in a few days).
For those who subscribe to Patreons above $5, I always leave a guide with all the talk topics and the few events available. In version 4, there will be several new ones!

One of Stacy's night events in the next version (WIP):
She doesn't seem happy at all, but it's not hard to make her happy

And new cloth system for differents routine of each character:

Current changelog for the next version (Not the one that will be released, but the paid one that is in development):
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
One suggestion, tho. Pardon me if you already have this planned or if any system implementation prevents it, but I think you really should consider to render the MC body at all times, including the clothing system. This would expand possibilities by a lot and strengthen what makes this kind of games interesting, which is the interactions.
Didn't play the 3.1 version, so I don't know exactly what is the new grab system, but being able to grab outside developer rails would be very interesting. Also, you could allow the player to remove his own clothes and flash npcs or even create situations where it could look like an accident (Maybe if I know X NPC goes to the bathroom, I could be there naked for the time they arrive and have a new event/reaction/relation influence).
Additionally, we could have something that I don't remember seeing in any other game, which is to have npcs actively make moves on the MC depending on relations/personality and who is in the room. It doesn't need to be a new scene, could be just a kiss or a naughty hand if the player provides a simple input, like when the npc notices the player taking a peek at boobs/butt for X time, or if the player grabs them it could trigger npc moves as a reaction (maybe a lust meter for NPCs when the player grabs them? Reaction for when they lose control would be awesome). Imagine if you have higher than X relation with Stacy and sits on the chair in front of her at dinner time, she could start playing with you by using her feet (as relation grows, it could scale to a fork drop scene), or when she goes out to smoke, each 3 seconds you stay put beside her looking at her or at her body rools a chance for her to make a move. If you stay put besides Katherine while she is cooking, she could turn and grab your crotch while making some naughty comment like "I think I need one more carrot". If you sit on the sofa while Stacy is there and ignores the TV while looking/peeking at her, she can start a crotch massage and it can evolve to a handjob/blowjob scene with higher relations...
Well, that's what I say would give an extra flavor to your game. The grab system from House Party is very well done and free for the player to use on stationary npcs, but it doesn't lead to much besides some voiced reactions. Keep up the good work and I'll be glad to become a Patreon to help you with VA hiring.

Easier solution is to hit ALT+ENTER once, and then after 1 second - again - this will full screen and then window the game, the loading bar jumps right into action after this.
Well, in my case nothing happens, my game opens, the mouse pointer has an hourglass for a couple of seconds and disappears leaving the word 'loading..' and the loading bar with a tiny pink fragment, the fps also stay fixed as if there was a file that doesn't load, I've tried leaving it for 10 minutes and nothing...

Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until the version that was supposed to be public here (just a couple of days left).
It's an input manager issue — it was fixed by running the game in the background. At least for those I was able to test who had that problem, it was resolved that way.
you cant make a 3d game and not include "reverse y axis"
not all of us use the backwards PC +mlook method
regardless of whether you agree with it, a percentage of people use the standard control method, and its not realistic to expect us to change what we've been doing for decades

It's gated by a point threshold. iirc, it's around 25-35 points, according to the tutorial everyone has the same threshold for the demo.
On a related note, EvilGuestDev could the tutorial/info window be bound to any key that isn't F1? W11 has deathgrip priority on that key. Unrelated, is Stacey's 'stuck' event supposed to have Susan standing by as a witness? Also the buttons are a bit vague for that.

Totally valid point... Windows or Linux? Windows, I've been happy with SakasaMouse since mid 2000's:

Small issue, if you enter Susan's room and she goes to bed, she will lock you in with no way to escape

Hey not sure if you're aware of this issue, but some UI elements don't scale properly in ultrawide.
Here it is at 3440x1440.

random question... any plans to expand outside the front door and front yard? it's pissing me off that it's locked

It's weird; it's programmed to automatically transport you out when that happens. I'll add an extra check just in case.
Yes, unfortunately, it's a problem I can't fully solve until I have access to an ultrawide monitor. "Virtually" it works on my build, but when someone test it on a physical monitor, it's not the same (it's also a settings system issue).
I think there was a solution here in the thread (not a very good one, but a solution).
Since I'll be changing the radial UI and the settings system in the future, I'll let it go for a bit.

Yeah, V5 will be for random characters and new locations. The idea is that it'll be the last demo before starting proper development.
V4 is focused on nighttime encounters, the clothing system, and a rework of some features.
The demo turned one month old a few days ago, so I think I'm moving pretty fast, all things considered.
